Amazing video.

 

20 yrs for  starting  WW1

 

80 yrs for writing and printing literature about our God Jehovah. 

 

Incredible!

 80 years because they told like it is. What so odd that the pages in the The Finished Mystery book that they were convicted on were mostly quoted by Charles Russell or taken from the WTS around 1915, And this was before United States went to war. The religious leaders were bunch idiots. In July 17, 2017, will be the 100th year anniversary of the release of the book.

What a powerful video on the stand these brothers took at that time. And the contrast of the bloodguilt of the clergy for

their support of WWI and our brothers, who chose to go to prison rather than violate their integrity in that regard. What a

powerful argument when Christ came at this time at the beginning of his parousia to make an inspection of world affairs

that he saw those serving as officers of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society giving the proper spiritual food to  God's

people while the clergy preached these young men into the trenches of both sides.. Who was serving as a Faithful and

Slave, and who was not ? All they would have had to do was rescind their stand and they could have escaped what

looked like a lifetime of prison. But despite that they stood firm and now serve as an example to us all. - ( compare

Matt. 24:45. Isa. 2: 1-4 )
